The Last King Of Darkness
Chapter 482 - 310: The True Hero

Chapter 482: Chapter 310: The True Hero

The white light fell, and Rod and Aro almost collapsed to the ground simultaneously.

"We won!" Aro gasped, her pale face covered in sweat beads, looking entirely drained.

Rod also felt utterly empty, his body as if hollowed out, his entire soul exhausted.

A fourteen-second Spiritual Power Multiple Melodies emptied both of their spiritual energies, plus an entire pack of Spiritual Power Potions and two "Awakenings."

But it also successfully blasted a Twelfth Level spirit giant to death, stunning White Wolf, Velas, and Vivian.

In their wildest dreams, they hadn’t imagined that a Strong High Rank monster could be vanquished in just over ten seconds.

The Abyss Rift began to tremble, a thunderous noise as if coming from the depths of the earth, space started showing transparent cracks, and black dust fell from the air.

The demon sustaining the rift was killed, and the Abyss Rift began to collapse.

White Wolf snapped back to reality and immediately shouted, "The Abyss is collapsing, come here! I’ll use the Group Teleportation talisman to send us back!"

Velas lifted Rod, and Vivian lifted Aro, and the four of them quickly ran towards White Wolf.

White Wolf pulled out a circular talisman, engraved with interlocking wings, injected Spiritual Energy from his hands into the talisman, and the wings gradually glowed as if they had come to life.

"Hold on to me!"

The four flew at him, clinging tightly to White Wolf. The next instant, space flipped, and their vision blurred.

When their vision normalized again, they were back on the ground.

Not far away, the entrance of the rift spewed out a huge amount of black vapor, and countless tiny black fragments shot out, accompanied by a loud explosion; the entire entrance blew open, spreading black viscous substance everywhere.

Rod saw another strange transparent ripple shoot toward him and enter his body.

"Dark Abyss"

Huh?

Isn’t this the Source Material needed for the quantification of Dark Devourer?

Rod focused his thoughts in the Dream Realm to check the item he had just obtained.

"Dark Abyss": The source material of the abyss, obtained by destroying a larger Abyss Fragment.

Source Material isn’t unique?

Rod remembered that after he destroyed the Abyss Giant Snake, he had also obtained the same source material, which was already used for the quantification of Dark Devourer.

Having obtained another one, what use could it have?

Could I still obtain more if I destroy more Abyss Rifts in the future?

The thought flashed by, and Rod turned his attention back to the soul he had just obtained.

"Soul of the Great Sin Ghost"

Close to the Great Soul.

Born from sins, died for all beings, thus named the Sin Ghost.

Rod felt a thrill in his heart, it seemed very powerful, just slightly inferior to the soul of an Ancient God’s Remnant.

And another Source Material.

"Divine Skull": The source material of authority and wisdom, condensed upon the death of a deity.

Rod’s gaze flickered, and he immediately thought of his Fifth Star "Divine Sense," which needed the Source Material, the Divine Skull.

It was this star’s ability that drastically improved his skills, allowing him massive leaps in learning progress, and in a short time evolved from a newbie to a seasoned warrior.

However, besides accelerating his learning progress, "Divine Sense" didn’t seem to have much impact; Rod felt that his intelligence seemed unchanged.

Maybe my intelligence is already near its limit.

Rod thought.

Even such a powerful star can’t enhance it further.

I wonder if after its quantification, it could allow me to surpass my limits, truly possessing the wisdom and inspiration of a deity.

All in all, the gains this time were incredibly bountiful.

He had gained a soul close to the Great Soul, and two source materials.

His Spiritual Energy was about to surge again, and he might soon break through to Ninth Level Spiritual Energy, smoothly becoming a Third Level Combatant, and an official member of the Fire Hall.

Rod smiled happily.

The others were also ecstatic; they had never imagined such a severe threat could be resolved so easily.

Thinking back to the tremendous power of the Spiritual Power Cannon, Velas couldn’t help feeling apprehensive as well, exclaiming, "Lord Rod, your ’Instant Shot’ has evolved again; its power has far exceeded the initial records."

Vivian patted her modest chest, adding, "It’s really very strong. The Great Sin Ghost was annihilated in one hit; isn’t the ’Instant Shot’ a characteristic? Did you upgrade it from First Level to Ninth Level?"

Rod thought, it’s not just Ninth Level now; it has reached the Tenth Level quantification stage, and once the quantification is complete, it will be a Source Law Level characteristic.

But he couldn’t say that outright, or knowing he possessed so many characteristics, already beyond the scope of a taboo, would be shockingly outrageous.

"The Fire Spark has reached a perfect state," Rod used a conventional explanation.

Fire Spark and Characteristic fundamentally are not different; both are projections on the soul from the Source, but Fire Sparks are relatively fragmented and chaotic and cannot be enhanced like Characteristics to eventually replace and control the Source; they can only reach a relatively perfect state.

Therefore, in Troli, Starfire Series Fire Holders have always been less valued than Spirit Fire Series Fire Holders.

Except for Alan.

He is an exception.

"Wow! Little Rod is so amazing!"

Aro pounced and gave Rod another big hug, her round face almost bursting with joy, seemingly even happier than her own advancement.

There was also a rare hint of appreciation and acknowledgment in White Wolf’s expression.

"Little guy, well done."
